The
Third Workshop on
Large Scale
Distributed Virtual Environments, LSDVE 2015
held
in conjunction
of Euro-Par 2015
Wien, Austria, 24 August 2015
The recent advances in networking have determined an increasing use
of information technology to support distributed cooperative applications.
Several novel applications have emerged in this area, such as Large Scale Distributed Virtual Environments (LSDVEs).
These include distributed social networks, distributed social games,
collaborative recommender systems, collaborative learning systems,
large scale crowd based applications, supported collaborative work (CSCW).
The realization of these applications requires to afford several challenges, like the definition of user interfaces, coordination protocols, and proper middle-ware and architectures supporting distributed cooperation. of information technology to support distributed cooperative applications.
Several novel applications have emerged in this area, such as Large Scale Distributed Virtual Environments (LSDVEs).
These include distributed social networks, distributed social games,

large scale crowd based applications, supported collaborative work (CSCW).
Collaborative applications may greatly benefit from the support of different kinds of platforms, both cloud and peer to peer and also platforms recently proposed for Internet of things (IoT), like fog computing. Integration of different platforms, for instance mobile and cloud environments is currently a challange.
This workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers to present and discuss important aspects of large scale collaborative applications and of the platforms supporting them. The track's aim is to investigate open challenges for such applications, related to both the applications design and to the definition of proper architectures. Some important challenges are, for instance, collaborative protocols design, latency reduction/hiding techniques for guaranteeing real time constraints, large-scale processing of user information, privacy and security issues, state consistency/persistence.
The workshop will both present assessment of current state and
introduce further directions.
